All of our tour guides were top notch and extremely knowledgeable. Not only about their subject on the tour, but the city and history itself. Angela and Ryan gave excellent food and drink suggestions even beyond what we had time to cover in the tour. Food portion definitely had us satisfied with the amounts and variety. The cocktails were all delicious. Last tour was the jazz portion which was a bit much after a full day of eating and drinking but once we started touring the bands and restaurants I feel it really hit it's stride. Wonderful time with all the tour guides. Would definitely recommend!
